David's Bridal was my starting point for wedding dress shopping. I knew nothing about wedding dresses, and had a great experience at the shop. You need to make an appointment, and they match you up with your own salesperson. They give you everything you need, from undergarments to shoes, and are pretty helpful. The dresses are not of the highest quality, but are ok. If you plan on buying your dress there, I would wait for the sales which occur every few months. Also, you can get a fifty off coupon if you visit their booth at wedding fairs, and sign up to go in during the week.
